While watching
Temptation, the 1st conversation between Harley and Judith had my danger
signals blaring, they were saying he's dangerous, don't trust him, he
will lay hands on you! Did yours? There was one point where Judith
asked Harley a question and part of his answer was the fact he could get
crazy. Few people say they get crazy, and those that do say such
things usually mean CRAZY for real, real, CRAZY all capital CRAZY CRAY
CRAY!!!!!
While Judith was
obviously intrigued from her and Harley's 1st meeting and
conversation, the private jet scene where Harley begins kissing Judith
and she is saying stop but he doesn't, while a turn-on for Judith, it
COMPLETELY turned me off. Once again my danger signals began going
off. However, I could totally see a woman like Judith and many other
falling for the Harley type. Especially since her life seems mundane
and predictable. When she tried to spice it up a bit, her husband was
taken a back and unprepared to just go with the flow. This increased
her curiosity for something "new and exciting". At any point in time
Judith could have spoken with her husband about her need for some
spontaneity and excitement BUT like most people she harbored her
feelings and allowed them to lead her to a path of self sabotage and
destruction with defeated thoughts.
Before I go any further, there
are great men out there, I love black men, I am the daughter of, mother
to, and woman of a black man.....
Harley was 100%
positively the too good to be true type. When I was younger my mom said
something that I completely understand now and is so fitting for the
movie. If a man has so many positive attributes and things going on for
himself and he is single, no woman is trying to claim him, stalking him
etc. There is something wrong with him. Harley was a man that
possessed everything he could possibly imagine yet he had no love in
his life.
I couldn't understand
why Judith didn't pick up on the warning signs. Especially since she
knew his love profile, topped with the fact she was a marriage counselor
yet, her emotions and thoughts that she was missing out on something
led her to make bad choices. She was open, vulnerable, and gullible
leaving the door wide open for Harley to come in. In their
conversations about his love life, Harley always took on the victim role
and made his ex out to be the "bad guy". My thought was what woman in
her right mind wouldn't want to ride around in Rolls Royce's, live
lavishly, fly on private jets etc. Not putting a price on love BUT
something made his wife decide to marry him and something also drove her
to leave all of that fabulousness behind. Not putting 100%
responsibility on the husband as it takes 2 to make a thing go right or
wrong BUT his over emphasis on his wife being unappreciative
was just a bit much.
I won't give the whole
movie away but I can say when it ended the 1st thing that came to mind
was "Don't go chasing waterfalls please stick to the rivers and the
lakes that you're used to!"
The grass will always
look greener on the other side BUT that lawn has to be maintained like
any other one. Just because its green now doesn't mean it will stay
that way. Relationships take work and should be built on a foundation
of love, trust, respect, commitment, friendship, and communication.
How many women would have fallen for Harley, married or single?
Namaste! Peace! Love! Joy! Favor! Abundance! Prosperity!
